Reactions of 2-aminothiazole, derivatives of 2-aminobenzothiazole and 2-aminobenzoimidazole with polyfluorobenzoyl chlorides gave rise to acylation products that at heating in the diphenyl ether formed fluoro-containing derivatives of thiazolo[3,2-a]-, benzothiazolo[3,2-a]-, and benzimidazo[3,2-a]quinazolinone.     

Fluorinated [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazines*

The reaction of 3-R-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with the ethyl ester of 2-fluoroacetoacetic acid gave 2-R-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-ones. The reaction of a 3-R-1,2,4-triazolyl-5-diazonium salt with the ethyl ester of 2-fluoroacetoacetic acid and subsequent cyclization of the triazolylhydrazones lead to 7-R-3-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(1H)-ones.     

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines and imidazo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines proceeding from alkyl 2-benzylidene-3-oxo-3-fluoroalkylpropionates

Methods were developed of the synthesis of alkyl 2-hydroxy-2-fluoroalkyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4—tetrahydroimidazo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates and alkyl-5-hydroxy-2,7-diphenyl-5-fluoroalkyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates by regioselective [3+3]-cycloaddition of 5-aminoimidazole or 5-aminopyrazole to alkyl 2-benzylidene-3-oxo-3-fluoroalkylpropionates at the fluoroacylvinyl fragment.     

Synthesis of azepino[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzimidazoles and imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]azepines

Fusion of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-ones (γ-bromodypnones) with 1,2-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole and further treatment of the reaction product with a base (morpholine) gives 7,9-diaryl-5-methyl5,10-dihydroazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-11-ium bromides. The reaction of γ-bromodypnone with 1-alkyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazoles in benzene at 25 °C gives quaternary azolium salts. Upon heating their solutions in alcohol in the presence of K₂CO₃ the latter cyclize to 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1,5-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]azepin-4-ium bromides or 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepines depending on the nature of the substituent in the benzene rings and the substituent at the N(1) atom of the imidazole.     

Synthesis and X-ray study of 6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromeno[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,3,4]triazolo[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidine

2-Dimethylamino methylenechromanone 1 reacted with 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine in acetic acid to give only one isolated product which was identified by X-ray study as 6H-chromeno[3,4-e][1,3,4]triazolo[2,3-a]-pyrimidine. The molecular structure of 3, C₁₂H₈N₄O, was determined to be monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 16.3875(5), b = 8.8378(3), c = 13.8392(5) Å, β = 101.190(1)°, V = 1966.22(11) ų, Z = 8.

Some new 4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole derivatives were synthesized in good yields by treating various tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines with benzil and ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid.     

Crotonization in the benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]acridine series. Synthesis of naphtho[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">j</Emphasis>][1,7]phenanthroline derivatives

8,9,10,11-Tetrahydrobenzo[a]acridin-11-one reacted with aromatic aldehydes to give the corresponding 10-arylmethylidene-8,9,10,11-tetrahydrobenzo[a]acridin-11-ones. Reactions of the latter with malononitrile in the presence of a base catalyst led to the formation of polynuclear partially hydrogenated systems, 2-alkoxy-4-aryl-5,6-dihydronaphtho[2,1-j][1,7]phenanthroline-3-carbonitriles, whose absorption and luminescence spectra in solution and polycrystalline state were studied.     

Formylation of pyrrolo-[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrazines

The formylation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines containing alkyl, aryl, or hetaryl substituents in positions 1 and 6 of the heterocycle has been studied. It has been shown that formylation of 1-phenyl-and 1-(2 thienyl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine occurs selectively at the α-position of the pyrrole ring. In all of the remaining examples the reaction course depends on substituent, reagent ratio, and reaction time. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 88–93, January, 2008.

Synthesis and properties of cyanomethyl derivatives of imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridine,imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidine,and imidazo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thiazole

2-Cyanomethyl derivatives were obtained of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, and their reactivity was investigated by an example of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine: It was subjected to nitration, bromination, azo coupling and nitrosation.

3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-Benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">j</Emphasis>]acridine as a new fluorescent heterocyclic system: synthesis,spectral studies,and quantum chemical investigation

The synthesis, spectral studies, and theoretical calculations of a new fluorescent heterocyclic system are described. New 3H-benzo[a]imidazo[4,5-j]acridines were obtained in high yields by the reaction of 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazoles with (naphthalen-1-yl)acetonitrile via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, and their structures were established by spectral (UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and analytical data. Study of the optical and solvatochromic properties of the dyes revealed their high molar absorption coefficients and high fluorescence quantum yields which in some cases exceeded quantum yields of well-known fluorescent dyes such as fluorescein. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set were performed to obtain optimized geometries and frontier orbital structures of the synthesized compounds. The electronic absorption spectra were also simulated by the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method.     

Azines and azoles: CXXVII. 5-phenyl-7<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazin-7-ones: Synthesis and structure

Reactions of 1-acylthiosemicarbazides with methyl 3-phenylprop-2-ynoate provide a new one-step procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted 5-phenyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones. The product structure was determined on the basis of scalar spin-spin coupling constants ² J(¹H-¹⁵N) and ³ J(¹H-¹⁵N) in the ¹H and ¹⁵N NMR spectra and was proved by X-ray analysis. Methyl 3-phenylprop-2-ynoate reacted with 1-acetylthiosemicarbazide in ethanol in the presence of H₂SO₄ to give 3-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]-[1,3]thiazin-5-one as the only product.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyrimidines

Starting from 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, a synthesis pathway to the tricyclic pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines is described. Reaction of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidin-4-ones with phosphoryl chloride afforded the corresponding 4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines. Treatment of these compounds with hydrazine hydrate at reflux temperature gave the hydrazino derivatives, which were subsequently cyclized to the titled compounds on heating with orthoesters in ethanol.
